MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 37 National Competition (1)

The voices of the audience had already sounded, and the seats near the Zhejiang team were full of people, and many of them came for Yin Jiayi.

When she learned that her opponent today was her, Jian Changnian's heart skipped a beat, and she became a little uneasy.

The posture in which she held the racket was slightly tense and stiff, and she kept taking deep breaths to calm down her violent heartbeat.

While hesitating, shouts came from the audience.

"Chang Nian, come on!!"

She turned her head and saw that Zhou Mu had come, Cheng Zhen was sitting next to her, Cao Rui also waved at her, and the girl who played with her that she met at the Chenxing Club last time was also sitting on the same table. Row.

Several people pulled a banner:

The Coastal Province team is going forward indomitably, go and go!

It is the only audience on their side.

Jian Changnian's eyes were slightly moistened, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she relaxed a lot. Whatever world champion she is, come on!

In a game of this size, no one will take their opponents lightly. Even if the opponent is just a rookie, being able to stand out from the tens of thousands of young people with dreams in their hearts already represents their own excellence to a certain extent.

Therefore, Yin Jiayi did not intend to show mercy from the very beginning.

She wants a quick fix.

Under the opponent's fierce offensive, Jian Changnian was exhausted in the first game, and was soon defeated.

There is a break between innings.

Yan Xinyuan held a bottle of purified water in his hand and criticized her sharply.

"What are you afraid of? Cowardly, the aunts dancing in the square outside are better than you, what happened to the world champion? Don't think about these things, isn't she still a person except for the halo? How do you usually train, You can do whatever you want!"

Jian Changnian nodded, her face was on fire, she just felt that she had failed everyone's expectations, and she didn't dare to look into Coach Yan's eyes, nor did she dare to look at the auditorium.

The rest time was coming soon, Yan Xinyuan unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to her.

"Here, drink some water and play well in the second game."

Yin Jiayi, who was opposite, was also sitting in the rest area drinking water, with a towel hanging around her neck.

The coach asked, "What do you think of the rookie opposite?"

Yin Jiayi is just 25 years old this year, and she can be regarded as one of the ceiling-level figures in domestic women's singles.

She glanced at Jian Changnian and said, "It's kind of interesting. Although I've been pressing and hitting me all the time, I countered a few shots beautifully."

Yin Jiayi's coach held her shoulders to loosen her muscles.

"It's okay, rookie, the ball is still a little immature, work hard in the second game, and win the first victory in one go."

Yin Jiayi nodded.

The referee blew his whistle.

The two stood up at the same time and walked towards the arena.

call.

Jian Changnian breathed out lightly, and the hand holding the racket tightened and tightened.

In the second game, she won, the score was equalized and came to the match point, she lost, the Zhejiang team won their first victory, and it was time to break the boat.

Yin Jiayi took the lead to serve, Jian Changnian stepped back, found the ball's landing point, and raised his hand sideways to send it back.

Not to be outdone, Yin Jiayi quickly went online to intercept, and the two fought back and forth in front of the net.

Maybe it's because of gradually adapting to the playing field and the rhythm of the game, maybe it's because of listening to Coach Yan's words, throwing away that layer of championship halo, standing here, everyone... is from the same starting point, let go of the psychological burden of Jian Changnian, and continue The serve is obviously braver, and he is no longer intimidated.

She found Yin Jiayi's flaw with one ball and hit her backhand, it was too late for Yin Jiayi to retreat.

The badminton hits the ground and the electronic scoreboard lights up.

Jian Changnian scored 0:1 first.

Zhou Mu jumped up from the auditorium, slapping the toy in his hand frantically.

"Chang Nian, you did a great job, take her down and bring the score back!"

Cheng Zhen's eardrums were about to be burst by her.

"This is the first ball, why are you so excited?!"

As soon as the words fell, Yin Jiayi smashed the ball and scored.

Cheng Zhen hated iron for being weak, jumped up and shouted loudly: "I'm going to sneak attack you, I often miss you so don't give her a chance, **** her!!"

"..."

Zhou Mu was numb.

Who is more excited?

At the beginning of the second game, the situation on the field became more unpredictable, and the balance of victory was no longer tilted towards her side like the previous game.

Yin Jiayi looked at her with surprise and appreciation.

It's interesting, this rookie seems to be a slow player who has just found his form. There are very few athletes who are as young as her and can fight her back and forth.

But appreciation belongs to appreciation, the ball still needs to be played well.

It was Jian Changnian's turn to serve. She wanted to use a few high **** to control her backcourt, and then look for an opportunity to attack from the side. She didn't expect her intention to be seen through quickly.

A sly smile appeared on the corner of Yin Jiayi's lips, and after playing a few high **** with her, suddenly the beat flickered, and Ping pulled over.

Oops, feint!

By the time she realized it was a trap, it was already too late, the opponent's ball was too fast, Jian Chang didn't even think about it, only the white meteor in her eyes, she rushed over to save the ball with her heart.

The whole person almost fell to the ground due to the shift of the center of gravity. With one hand on the ground, she shoveled the badminton that was about to hit the ground with the racket in her right hand.

There was a burst of exclamation from the entire audience.

Whether it's this fake move or Jian Changnian's extreme save, they are all remarkable.

A smug smile appeared on Yin Jiayi's face, and before Jian Changnian had time to get up, she backhanded her.

That's too late.

This thought flashed through Jian Changnian's head, and he simply relaxed his body and leaned back, gritting his teeth to reach the ball.

Her racket lightly brushed against the pinnae of the ball, and because of her posture, she couldn't fully exert her force.

Although he barely picked up the ball, it fell to the ground before it crossed the net.

Jian Changnian pursed her lips, a little unwilling, but still jumped up like a carp.

"Come again."

Yin Jiayi serves.

"Although you are considered the best among your peers, I will not give you another chance in this game."

"I don't need anyone to give me a chance, I will find it myself."

Even in the face of the opponent's strong oppressive force, Jian Changnian never gave up on the counterattack. She attacked whenever she had the opportunity, completely giving up the defensive style of play, and wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from her.

The two of them were playing in full swing, and Xie Shi'an, who was off the court, also watched intently.

In the upcoming singles match, she might run into Yin Jiayi, anyway, it would be good to get acquainted with her style of play in advance.

Qiao... Yuchu gave her a hand, and shook her hand in front of her eyes.

"Don't look, the doubles is about to start, the referee told us to go and prepare."

Xie Shi'an came back to his senses, picked up the racket and followed the others to the other side of the field, still reluctantly looking back.

The game over there was still going on. Even though Jian Changnian had tried his best, the game was still lost without any suspense. When the ball landed, the scoreboard also lit up.

12:21

Yin Jiayi wins.

She put her hands on her knees and gasped for breath.

Yin Jiayi relaxed, took the racket and came to shake her hand.

"It doesn't matter, you have played very well, and you will continue to work hard in the following games."

"thanks."

Jian Changnian smiled wryly, nodded slightly, shook hands with others, and left the field with the racket.

The first singles game is over.

Qiao Yuchu took the time to glance over there, and Jian Changnian sat in the rest area dejectedly with a towel over her head.

She is eager to try with a racket.

"Well, do we want to win it back?"

Xie Shi'an's lips curled into a smile that was inevitable.

"Let's make it 2:0 quickly."

＊＊＊

In the case of losing one point first, the second doubles game became particularly important. Fortunately, Xie Shi'an and Qiao Yuchu lived up to expectations and won a big point for the team.

The third singles.

Yan Xinyuan sent Wang Bingbing, who is stronger in the team, to fight, and the Zhejiang team also sent their own seed players. The two sides fought inseparably, and it took three rounds to decide the winner.

Wang Bingbing narrowly won 2:1 and scored another key point.

"It's match time. If we can't win the next doubles match, the Zhejiang team will lose today, so Yin Jiayi will definitely play."

Yan Xinyuan stood in the rest area surrounded by his players. He calmly and quietly analyzed the situation on the field and arranged tactics.

Xie Shi'an glanced at the opposite side: "Coach Yan, I..."

She wanted to go up and touch Yin Jiayi.

Yan Xinyuan shook his head: "Let Yang Li and the others go up and practice their hands, you prepare for the next singles match."

"But..." Xie Shi'an argued vigorously, with the racket in his hand, he was eager to try.

"This point is also very important to us!"

Yan Xinyuan frowned. During training or competition, he always showed his honest side.

"Obey the coach's arrangement on the field! If you do it again, get the **** out of me!"

Seeing him get angry, everyone shrank their necks, not daring to say anything.

Only Xie Shi'an stood there as motionless as a mountain, with his back straight, gritting his teeth and looking at each other, each other's eyes were bloodshot.

There was a lot of movement here, and Yin Jiayi, who was drinking water, looked up.

"Hey, dare to choke with the coach, you are quite brave."

Just like Yan Xinyuan knew that the Zhejiang team had Yin Jiayi and made a strategy against her, the head coach of the Zhejiang team also got a close look at their situation.

"That's Xie Shi'an, the runner-up of the women's doubles in the last national competition. She has been playing since she was very young. She is known as a genius girl in Jiangcheng City. She is the devil in the training competition. By the way, she even beat Qin Yang. Although it was a ring fight, the police finally came to the door."

Yin Jiayi's lips curled into an interested smile. Although she has been training abroad all year round, no one in the national team knows what kind of virtue Qin Yang is. To be able to beat him means that he is a ruthless person.

"That said, it's still a thorn."

... "Isn't that right, I will be punished every three days."

Yin Jiayi made no secret of her appreciation and interest in Xie Shi'an.

"Coach, I want to fight her."

"Not today, the roster has already been handed in, and I don't know why they lined up like this today. According to my guess before the game, Xie Shi'an should be their main player. You should prepare well for the next game." One game, there will be opportunities in the future.”

Hearing what he said, Yin Jiayi could only nod in boredom.

"Okay then, I'm off to the game."

＊＊＊

Seeing that they refused to give in to each other, Coach Liang quickly pulled the two of them away.

"Oh, pay attention to the influence, don't let outsiders see the joke!"

Qiao Yuchu also grabbed Xie Shi'an, and said in a low voice, "Shi'an..."

Xie Shi'an pursed his lips, reluctantly apologizing.

"I'm sorry, Coach Yan, I'm going to prepare for the game."

Coach Liang also pulled him away.

"Okay, okay, why are you angry with a kid, besides, it's not you, and you won't play for others."

"I... I have my own tactical arrangements!" Yan Xinyuan didn't recover from his old blood, and almost choked himself to death, but he also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper, so he simply spread his hands.

"Give me the cigarette bag, I'll go out and smoke a cigarette to get some air, out of sight and out of mind."

Smoking is banned in the venue. Coach Liang received his cigarette pouch early for fear of becoming addicted to cigarettes.

"Here, why do you need a cigarette pouch?"

"Didn't you let me calm down? Don't worry, I will definitely come back before the next game starts."

"It's really—" Coach Liang had no choice but to return the cigarette bag to him, muttering as he watched the man walk away.

"I don't think there's much difference between you and Shi'an. You're still so worrying at a young age."

Fourth doubles.

Because Yin Jiayi was on the field, the two rookies of the Coastal Province team were not her opponents, and they were quickly defeated.

After the game, the two walked up to Yan Xinyuan dejectedly.

"I'm sorry, Coach Yan, we failed to get this crucial point."

Yan Xinyuan patted them on the shoulder and comforted them.

"It's okay, there's another one."

He handed over this task to Xie Shi'an.

In this game, she was playing against a player from the national youth team. For this national competition, she returned to her hometown to fight. Those who can stay in the national youth team at the age of eighteen or nineteen are all outstanding players. There is no doubt about their strength. Therefore, even though the two of them had been arguing blushing and neck thick just now, Yan Xinyuan still gave her instructions before going on stage.

"Now you understand why I made such an arrangement, right? There are many rookies in our team this year, and only you and Yuchu have experience in major competitions. I can't show all my cards at once for others to see."

Yan Xinyuan saw that her collar was accidentally rolled up around her neck, and gently turned it out for her, and smoothed the folds of the clothes on her shoulders.

His movements were light and slow, exhorting him like a loving elder.

"I'll leave the bottom line to you, but don't be too stressed. Four or five achievements at the usual training level are enough."

The last time someone tidied her clothes before the competition was before she was six years old. At that moment, I don’t know if it was her illusion or what. Xie Shi’an always felt that Yan Xinyuan looked at her as if he was looking at his own child, looking forward to it I don't want her to have any pressure.

After this cognition came out, the iceberg called kinship that had been frozen in my heart for a long time had a crack.

Xie Shi'an nodded and didn't say anything, but his expression obviously became serious, and he walked onto the field with his racket in his hands.

From the very beginning of this round, she showed a strong aggressiveness. She took control within a few minutes of the start, hanging over the opponent's head all the way to kill, and after showing extraordinary dominance on the field, she also did a watertight defense. The faces of the members of the Zhejiang team on the opposite side gradually turned ugly.

Xie Shi'an easily won a round.

In the second game, she finally remembered what Yan Xinyuan told her about preserving her strength. She deliberately slowed down the pace and gave the opponent a chance to breathe. After catching the opportunity, the players of the Zhejiang team started a crazy counterattack .

Xie Shi'an fought and retreated. Although it looked inextricable on the field, in fact, the coaches of both sides saw that she was actually able to handle it with ease.

"This Xie Shi'an, at first I thought she was the one who hung up on Qin Yang, but I didn't expect her to play the ball so well. Looking at this ball control, it's probably useless." The head coach of the Zhejiang team looked at Looking at it, he began to sigh again and again.

Yan Xinyuan had a familiar expression on his face. Occasionally, when Xie Shi'an hit a good shot, he would applaud symbolically.

Because he knew that Xie Shi'an's strength was far more than that.

In the second game, she won the game by a narrow margin of two points despite her intentional release, and won the first victory for the Coastal Province team.

All the teammates ran up and cheered around her, only Jian Changnian sat in the corner looking at their backs, looking lonely.

Although the match was over, her mind was still full of the scene when she just played against Yin Jiayi.

Since officially joining the provincial team, she has regained her confidence. In the training match, except for meeting Xie Shi'an, everyone else has the strength to fight. Even when they are in good condition, some boys have been able to fight, but In front of Yin Jiayi today, she lost too quickly, and was taken away 2:0. If she can tie a point, she will feel better at least.

Jian Changnian lowered her head and sighed deeply. Before she raised her head, her eyes were covered by someone.

A familiar voice came from behind.

"Bang bang bang—guess who I am?"

A smile floated on the corner of Jian Changnian's lips, and she pulled her hand away.

"Don't play tricks, I can hear your voice turned into ashes."

Zhou Mu ran down from the auditorium and hung around her neck from behind through the fence.

"It's not fun at all, why can't you cooperate!"

Jian Changnian turned to look at her: "Aren't you making up lessons today? Why are you here?"

"It's the first time in your life that you're officially playing a game. Of course I'm going to come and see it."

When mentioning the game, Jian Changnian felt a little disappointed again.

She knew that Zhou Mu and the others came to cheer for her, but she let them down.

"I didn't play well today."

"Who said that, look at you being the world champion in the first match! That's Yin Jiayi!! It's not wrong to lose to her."

This way of comforting people is really special.

Jian Changnian's heart warmed, and she turned around and smiled at her.

"Yes, thank you."

"Are you happy? If you're happy, do me a favor~" Zhou Mu shook her shoulders frantically from behind.

Jian Changnian had a bad premonition.

"What are you busy with?"

Zhou Mu looked at Yin Jiayi with a hint of shyness.

"I want…"

Jian Changnian immediately refused loudly: "Impossible, no, I have already lost the game, you don't want me to ask her for an autograph."

"Oh, Chang Nian, I'm so good at Chang Nian~ Just help me~ Please~~" Zhou Mu said while sticking to her body, hugging her arm and acting like a baby.

The staff heard the movement and ran to chase away people.

"That spectator over there, please get back in the stands and stay away from the fence."

Zhou Mu stuck out his tongue and ran away: "Then I'll go first. I really can't escape the make-up class in the afternoon. You can do your best. I'll come to watch your game another day. Also, don't forget my autograph!"

Being teased by her like this, the sense of loss of losing the game was relieved a lot.

Jian Changnian grinned at her back.

"You think beautifully."
